ROMEOROMEO
AND AND JULIETJULIET
NARRATOR• We are in Verona, in the north of
Italy. Once upon a time, there were two rich families who also were enemies: the Capuleto and the Montesco.
• At Juliet Capuleto’s house
JULIET• I’m so sad! I love Romeo Montesco
and I know my father won’t like him at all!
• What can I do?
NARRATOR• Her old servant promised to help
her
OLD SERVANT• Don’t cry, my lady. I think there is
a way in which you and your beloved can stay together
NARRATOR• The two lovers met under the
moonlight. They held their hands and embraced each other.
ROMEO• Oh, Juliet! I’ll always love you!
JULIET• Me too, Romeo. I want to be with
you all my life….
NARRATOR• But Juliet’s father saw everything
and he called Paris, his friend.
FATHER• Listen to me, Paris, my friend. I
want you to marry my daughter Juliet.
PARIS• I’m so pleased to hear that, old
friend!
NARRATOR• Some young servants heard the
news and told Romeo and Juliet about them.
YOUNG SERVANT 1
• Hurry up and do something! Juliet’s father wants Paris to marry her!
YOUNG SERVANT 2
• What?? Paris is going to marry Juliet?
NARRATOR• Meanwhile, Juliet was at her
window, waiting for Romeo.
JULIET• It’s almost midnight. I hope he
isn’t late!
NARRATOR• Romeo climbed very quickly and
entered through the window.
JULIET• You’re here my, love!
ROMEO• Yes, and I have something to
propose you. Would you marry me tomorrow?
NARRATOR• The old servant, who was spying,
listened to everything.
ROMEO• We’ll run away together.
JULIET• Of course, I will!
ROMEO• It must be a secret, you know…..
NARRATOR• Juliet was living the happiest
moment in her life.
JULIET• I can’t wait until tomorrow comes!!
ROMEO• See you tomorrow at midnight in
your garden. I’ll call brother Thomas to celebrate it.
JULIET• Good night, honey.
NARRATOR• At Paris’s bedroom…..
OLD SERVANT• Good night and good dreams! Are
you dreaming of Juliet, Paris?
PARIS• Mmmmm… Who dares to awake
me? You’d better have something important to tell!
OLD SERVANT• Of course, I have. Hide tomorrow
at midnight at Juliet’s garden.
PARIS• Is she meeting anyone before the
wedding? That won’t happen again!
NARRATOR• Romeo said goodbye to the three
friendly young servants.
YOUNG SERVANTS
• Good bye and good luck!
NARRATOR• At Capuleto’s house
FATHER• I’m so angry with you, Juliet!
JULIET• What have I done wrong, father?
FATHER• You’ve kissed a Montesco! I can’t
allow it in my life!
JULIET• But we love each other….
FATHER• No way! You are marrying Paris!!
NARRATOR• Juliet couldn’t stop crying.
JULIET• Oh, no!! How will I run away? My
father knows I love Romeo!
OLD SERVANT• Your snack is ready, my lady.
JULIET• Thanks! I think I still keep that
poison I found at my father’s drawer. The only thing I want is pour some drops in my chocolate. Give me some of that chocolate, please.
YOUNG SERVANT
• Be ready. Romeo will arrive soon.
ROMEO• Hello, my love! Wake up! Let’s go!
YOUNG SERVANT
• She can’t
ROMEO• Oh!!! She’s dead!! She’s killed
herself. I’ll drink, too.
YOUNG SERVANT
• Oh, no!! Now Romeo is dead, too!!
NARRATOR• Juliet’s mother came into her
bedroom.
MOTHER• What’s happened to my daughter?
YOUNG SERVANT
• We don’t know. She ate the chocolate of her snack.
YOUNG SERVANT
• We think it was poisoned because Romeo drank, too.
MOTHER• You knew they loved each other!
You forbade their love.
FATHER• But I didn’t think she would kill
herself! I’ll always feel guilty of these deaths!
NARRATOR• At least, they are together and
nobody will separate them in death.
